Thread: New Bocote Scales for my Hart Steel

Hi everyone, I wanted to share this photo of the new Bocote scales that I got for my Hart Steel "Not a Replica". I prefer natural materials over the stock resin scales that this razor came with and I've been in analysis paralysis for over a year trying to make up my mind. The stock photos of the options for these razors are all beautiful, but with wood there is always so much variation so you never know exactly what you'll end up with. I did a lot of internet searching for different pics of the different woods, and there weren't a ton of them out there. So I thought it would be helpful to others who may be considering these scales to see mine and be able to compare it with any others available. I ordered the scales from the Hart Steel website instead of the main site that sells them because they were $10 cheaper directly from the Hart site. The scales are a single continuous piece of wood, so combined with the hex screw hinge it took about a minute to swap them out. Pretty simple and painless.
